Here it would be the kissing the herd of pigs. the pit farmers call themselves pig farmers. Sounds pretty unkosher to me. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/a6/41/7ba641913e46cf31cf70d1bdb6e2bc29.jpg

Nevertheless, swineherd is the correct English expression in this context; although "pig farmer" is the more common modern expression.

People used to allow their pigs to roam, foraging for their food in forests. Which means someone had to herd them.
